gntoii Jntclitgcwccr. 1 Plant Corn. Tho weather for the last few days has "been delightfully warm and pleasant. We notico vegetation is springing forward rapidly, and many of our early flowers aro in full bloom. This is really fino iplanting weather, and, in view of the very '"Short supply of provisions now on hand among our planters, wo -suggest the pro? priety of the planting at once of a small field of corn. A few acres planted now *with seed of the Baltimore or Northern Varieties, will be hard enough, for feeding 'purposes by the 10th or 15th of July.? IChis variety of corn does not grow, as .darge as our Southern" corn, neither is the 'ear so heavy, but it will stand crowding ietier, and by planting close and early a ?good yield can be obtained. Those who have had no experience in the cultivation of. this corn will bo greatly ?disappointed-with their venture when they see it tasselling-at not moro than two or .two and a half feet high. We know some {planters who c?t up their crop last year 'because they thought it w?uld make noth? ing on account" its tasselling so low.?. Others who let their crop stand, got a good yield. ?JiTow is the time to plant this corn.?, 3far.iure well, plant close, you will have, -roasting corn by the 1st to the 10th of ?Jane, and corn for the mill in July. ^Another matter we desire tocall the at 'tenti?n of \ our. planting friends to. -It is this r.~be"Sure and .plant corn enough to answer ycur wants, calculating only that a half crop will bo made. In other words, i plant double as much land in corn as you think, with good seasons,. would make you a sufficien i supply. -*We know that there is a very general conviction among planters' that it is; ?cheaper to buy corn with cotton at thirty cents a pound'that it is to raise it. This 5s a general mistake. The trouble is, it is, never cheap or proper for a planter'to buy anything he can raise himself. Pro? duce on your own land cveiythdng ne? cessary, to carry "oh your planting inter? ests and then raise as much cotton-as you can. The money received from the cot? ton crop, is then the profits of the. farm. But if you have to spend a third or half of the proceeds of the cotton crop to pur? chase such supplies as could bo raised at home, you diminish to that extent the profits of planting. Another reason, and a very conclusive one to us, why our planters should bo cer? tain to plant largely of corn is that, if the, cotton' crop.-faiJs,:it involves a .total failure of the entire planting interests, unless you have raised your own supplies. The present condition of the country is a terrible warning to us of the folly and ru? inous results of the system which we are condemning. Last year ? very sliort corn crop was planted; the season was bad and the crop failed entirely. The cotton Crop planted was a very large one; it failed, und now wo have neither corn nor money to pnrchase it with. "'? We hope and trust our planters will not> be-; caught- in this condition' again. -Wo Snow that they will not, if they will only bo certain.to plant largely of corn and other provision crops.?Chronicle and Sentinel . . -:-o-!- ? Too Much Pork for a Shilling.?Dr. McFarland,:of the Illinoislnsano Asylum, communicate 1 the following to the Jack? sonville. (XW.) Journal. "The death of N. P. Willis, the poet, allows the origin of the ancient saying at the head of. this communication to bo ex? plained-.-. When Willis was a lad of fifteen b.e was sent to receive his preparatory collegiate e'ducatien at the hands of the father of your correspondent, ?ev. Dr. lIcFarland, of Concord, N. -H.y in whose family he took up his residence, and under whom his morals and classical attain? ments were expected to derive great ad? vantage. He is remembered by the wri? ter as a-boy particularly "fast" for thoso primitive times, wearing roundabout jack? ets, and having a round good-humored face, handsomely set off by a profusion of light brown curly hair, in which it is veil known he took great pride, even into ad-, vanccd life. On the 4th of July, 1822, a fishing party was formed to celebrate the day in a manner peculiar to anglers, on the banks of tho adjacent Merrimac, and Nathaniel had permission to join the par? ty?tho careful doctor having first learned that tho provision chest was to contain only salt pork, w'hich was to be cooked wlth-the fish. -But as it is apt to bo tho ?sasc- on such occasions, certain cordials, such as ants, noyeau, and others now ?equally . out of date, found their way to the scone-of the festivities, in the pockets of]the Other anglers; and Nathaniel bo Irbre night was decidedly tho worse, from ?frequent libation, on which ho bad ex? pended tho best part of tho 'pistaroen.' given him by tho doctor in the morning. Ho found his way home, and in the twi? light reached his bedroom undiscovered. But his retching soon brought the hired girl to his bedside, who, in her alarm, ran to the 'study' for the doctor, who shortly appeared, to find his pupil bent ovor the side ot tho bed in tho extreme of gastric agony. 'Why, Nathaniel,'exclaimed tho grieved doctor, 'where havo you been? What have you been doing? Have you spent all of your shilling?' 'Please, sir,' gasped tho agonized re? pentant, iit was the pork ! I ate and ate. till my stomach is just ready to burst.? Indeed, sir, I never knew so much pork before to go for a shilling!' . The saying soon becamo current th.it 'Nat Willis got too much pork for a shil? ling/" -?+> Ha?su Works.?

Never Avas there a sentiment'uttered fraught with more truth than this, for nothing in this world has ever yet been able to satisfy the insatiable desire of man. The greatest mistake man has ever committed is to suppose that he can find in tho present state ot existence that which can i\i\\y gratify all his wants. The craving of the immortal soul! how vain and 'futile- to expect, they can ever ?be gratified in this imperfect state of ex? istence ' This world is too poor?too in? adequate,to gratify the longings and as? pirations of tho restless spirit of man, that is ever asking for more. Behold our first parents in the beautiful garden of lEdon! Naught:is there to dis? turb their peace and harmony. Sin has never, as yet, beguiled their hearts?care and trouble to thorn are unknown. But, as they partake of the .luxuries by which they ax*o surroundod, are they contented? No?far from it; there is yet one thing wanting to complete their happiness; it is to partake of the forbidden fruit. Thus it was with our first parents. If they could not be satisfied with their lot, which might have been one of perfect bliss, can it be expected that wo shall be satisfied in a world that-is corrupted with sin, and where every blessing is tinged with sorrow ? Yet satisfaction is what wc are all seeking, but never find. How many vainly imagine that they ?hall be satisfied, when they shall have reached some particular point dn their existence. But when that is reached, satisfaction is yet afar off, floating in tho distance, seen but dimly and indistinctly. Hew' many and varied, yet, for the most part, liow poor and inadequate, arc the objects which we. singlo out for the .purpose of finding "true and permanent satisfaction. The votaries of dissipation and sensuality seek it in the gratification of their animal appetites and passions; but there they find it not. The covetous seek it in the accumulation of wealth, but find that their expectations arc not real? ized. The ambitious, prompted by a thirst for glory and fa mo, .pursue, with untiring ardor the alluring phantoms; but when they have grasped all that is in their reach, they aro y et more dissatisfied than ever. Behold Alexander, who lias traversed th? whole world with his victo? rious army, weeping because his ambition was contiued within tho limits of one world. Was Napoleon satisfied, when his power.swayed over nearly the whole of Europe ? No; the more ho subjected to his will, the more he saw to .subject. Look at Cu)sar, in the height of his tri? umph, grasping what he had so long toil? ed for; and, then, in the restlessness and dissatisfaction of his nature, exclaiming, "Is this all r .Who has evcr drank so deep at the per? ennial spring of knowledge as to satisfy his thirstT Was it Plato, Cicero, Xocke. or.Newton? No, not they; although they drank deep, yet their anticipations were not realized. And how often, when tho astonishing world gazed with sur? prise and admiration at the .great height to wluch they had arisen on tho hill of science, they, were compelled to acknowl? edge?tliis is not my dream! this is not what I*hoped to have donel ?bus it; is with all mankind, whatovcr hispursuit may .be. None can fully ex? press the tlfought which it seems to have been his mission partly to unfold. None ever yet succeeded in gaining all they have desired. Thus, in .every period of our cxis'^enec* on earth, there appears to have been something wanting to satisfy the cravings of our natures;,' and we never have, and never can "reach the point whero we can say wc arc satisfied. .?.-->-. Yen?ges not Liable on Notes Given for Puii chase of SlAVES.?Judge GatCS, of Lousiana, has decided that in contracts !of sale there are mutal obligations?that of the seller to deliver and warrant the things sold and its peaceable possession; that of the buyer to accept the delivery and pay the price?and, that, the logical sequence of the action of the State in emancipating slaves must be, that when the right of property in that which had heretofore been treated as Stich' by the laws is destroyed, the laws to regulate the right of parties to that property, and to enforce payment of obligations' given for it, must follow the fate of tho property itself, and all contracts based upon those j laws be annulled. j Judge Gates holds that tho tenure by which this species of property was held was different from that by which all other property, is held. It .was uot based, says he, on natural law; and the right of liber? ty was a pre-existing right which belonged to the person held as a slave, however much public policy and the supposed in? terest of the country may have prevented the enforcement of that right by the per? son claiming it. But when the sovereign power of the State intervened to recognize and enforce that right, it cannot be said that the property was destroyed by any fortuitous event. Government cannot say that a tract ot land, which is property by the laws of na? ture, shall no longer be property. It can appropiate it for public use by compensa? ting the owner, but it still possesses the quality of property. But a slave, once emancipated, can, by no subsequent act ot the Government, be legally held as a slave, lie loses all tho essential characteristics of property, and becomes free by virtue of tho enforcement of his natural and pre? existing right of liberty. The French Government recognized this principle, when in 1789 it abolished the feudal rights without indemnity, and enacted a law to the effect that all suits instituted and not decided by final judg? ment, relative to feudal rights, should be extinguished, (clients), and consequently that all arrears due by vassals could not be collected by process of law.

A Ghost Stobt.?Last Tuesday fort? night as Mrs. ?a lady of rather lite? rary taste and studious habits, sat read? ing in tho drawing room, tho clock on. the mantle-piece struck twelve ! As the last stroke reverberated through the apartment, the door was flung wide open ! In tho act of raising her head to repel the intrusion (mining for) of her servant, her eyes rested on the form of her lato husband ! Sho screamed and fbll sense? less on the carpet! This brought up such members of the family as had not retired to rest; restoratives were admin? istered ; and when Mrs. ?? had regain? ed her suspended faculties, and being a ?woman of strong mind and highly culti? vated intellect, she folt disposed to con sidor the whole distress 6he had under? gone as the result of certain associations between the melancholly talc she had been perusing and her late loss,-opcrating on a partially deranged nervous system. She, however, considered It .advisable that her maid servant should repose -in ?her chamber, lest any return of what she considered a nervous affection, should distress herself and alarm -the family. Last Tuesday night, feettng-stronger and in better spirits than sho had -boon for ?several months past, Mrs.-dispensed with tho prcsenco of her attendant, re? tiring alono to her chamber, and went to bed a little before ten o'clock. Exactly as tho clock struck .twelve, she was awa? kened from sleep, and distinctly beheld tho apparition she had before seen, ad? vancing from tho table, on which stood her night lamp, till it stood opposite to and drew aside the curtains of her :bcdl. She describes her vciy blood retreating with icy chillness to her heart from every vein,. The countenance of her beloved in Life, were not its benevolent aspect; tho eyes once bearning with affection we now fixed with stern regard ft>t the trem? bling, half-dissolved being, who, with the ague of .desperation, thus adjui'ed him ?: "Johnny !'dear Johnny!! why have you come again Y* ?'Jessie," slowly and solemnly aspira? ted tho shadowy form, waving in his hand a small roll of writing paper, "Jes? sie, pay my newspaper account, and let mo rest, in peace !" -<s Can't, be True.?A Western corres? pondent tolls of a young man from one Of the rural -districts who got married in the morning, and took tho train for Cin? cinnati. After seeing all the sights du? ring the day and visiting the opera at night, tho happy pair returned to*the ho? tel, and tho bride retired to her room. Late in tho night tho boot black discov? ered the raw j-outh sitting in the hall, near the door of his wile's room. He in? quired for the clerk of the hotel. We give what followed, verbatim, with tho remark that we don't believe a word of it": "Couldn't 3*ou make me a bed in the parlor'/"' cried the disconsolate individual. "In the parlor ?" echoed the clerk, "I'm afraid not." "Well, I'd Iiko to have one spread'down somewhere." "Why don't you go into your own room ?" asked tho clerk. "I don't liko to," said the blushing young man. '" "'Why, what's the matter?"'continued tho clerk. "Has your wife turned you out of your room ?" ".No," said he, drawling, "but you sec I havn't never been married before, and so I don't like to go in, particularly in a "strange place." "Oh ! go right in," said the clerk; "she won't think it wrong." Here the door of the room opened about an inch, and through the aperture came a voice, coaxingly, saying? "Do coinc in, John, I won't hurt you. I know'd they think strange of yer standing out there. Comoin now, won't yer? I've blowcd out the gas and it's id I dark in here." The odor of the room assured the clerk that she had, indeed, "blowcd .out the gas," so, pushing open tho door, he stopped the flow, raised tho window, and returned to the hall to persuade the ver? dant husband to retire with his wife. All arguments were fruitless, however, and he was compelled to assign the simple individual a separate room from that his wife was in that night. -o "William and His Wipe.?Once on a time, not long ago, not so far from Millers burg as it might be, a good naturcd man, and his long tongued wife attended a so? cial party. Almost every three minutes his uife would check her husband thus: "Now William, don't talk so loud. Come, WilUam, don't lean on the chair that way! Now, William, don't get noisy over that way! Say, William, let the girls alone and sit by me !" At last forbearance ceased to be a vir? tue and the husband, who was really pit tied by all in the room, .rose and said: "I beg pardon of the company; but as my wife insists on beinp; boss all the time, it is right she should have these." And he deliberately took off his pants, handed them to her, and sat down in his 'boots and drawers. The company was astonished; the wo? man burst into tears; the happy couple soon wont home; but neither of them wore pants. How the matter was settled we cannot tell, but the last time we saw William, he had on the pants. We are in? clined to think she will not attempt to boss in company in a hurry. - { ? Life is an enigma. Wo are hero to? day all activity and bustle, and to-mor? row we arc gone. We die but the world moves on as when we were actors on the stage. As we drop away, others take our placo and we arc scarcely missed. Thus i*inco the creation, man lives, moves, and dies. If there were not a solution to this enigma, beyond the confines of tho grave how dull, how meagre, and unsatisfactory would be the few hours we pass on earth. .-? Used to It.?There was a fire at Fair? fax Courthouse, Virginia, week before last, which burned down live houses. It was successfully fought, in the absence of engines, with snow. A good story is told of a very old gentleman, a farmer of the neighborhood, who came in alter the firu had died away and asked the first man whom he met?"Arc they gone ?" "Who gone?" "Why, the Yankee's. I nee they've I been in again aud burnt something." A Close Stocy.?The different mean? ings of many English words which sound alike, arc the occasion of ludicrous mista? kes with those who are learning our lan? guage. An instance has just been related to us which occurred at the saloon of a French hair dresser, not- a thousand miles from this city. A customer stepped in one morning to have his hair cut. The weather was quite warm, and a glowing fire in the stove rendered heat more op? pressive. Taking his scat, the French artiste, who knew little of English, said in broken accents," Long or short, Mon? sieur ?" '"Just so so," said the customer?and feeling very hot?he just then observed, "Very close here." "Aye, Monsieur, ver close," said the I "knight of the shears, and he commenced to whack away vigorously at the long flowing locks of the young man, who was now-all aglow with iperspcration and aux ddus'to get out into a cooler atmosphere. Every moment or two he would repeat his observation "very close here," and once or twice, a friend who was present avers that he accompanied it with the ex? pletive beginning and ending with a d, tbits ?Hd-'close." To all of which 'the dapper Frenchman would reply? "Aye, Monsieur, ver close"?while he kept on sacrificing the ambrosial locks of his customer. At length -the usual finishing touches were applied, and the complacent artiste led the shorn victim to the glass in tri? umph. Judge of his anger wlien he found ?his hirs?te glory completely sacrificed? [ the innocent barber having understood his frequent muttering aliont the heat of the room to mean a renewal of the direction to cut his hair "close." The young man Avent away in the Worst possible Jnimof, am' though the French barber soon learned to speak good English, he avers that he has never allow? ed himself to tret "close" to aim since. "What's TriE News ?"?This question is asked daily and hourly when fiiends meet, but often with no expectation ot re? ceiving any satisfactory answer. The Noifolk Journal hits off this propensity as ?follows-: "It comes as natural for a man to ask en passant, 'What's the news,' as i.t does for the party thus addressed to reply Nothing.' This constant question does not arise out of any real desire on the part of the one to learn anything, nor does the invariable reply mean that there is no news. It simple means on the first part, 'I must say something,1 and on the second, lI must make some reply; there is of course, some news; but as i haven't time for details, it's best I should simply say nothing?for, in fact all" I know amounts to nothing much.' We heard a very sen? sible, as well .-is amusing anecdote yester? day, of a much respected Iiish gentleman, who in former years edited the Herald in this city, aud who possessed the poverbial readiness of his race for wit and repartee. Standing on the corner of Main and Roan okc streets, a gentleman, in passing, halted and asked, 'Well, Mac, what's the news?' 'Buy my paper and you'll find out,' was the ready and very sensible reply. The Anxoyaxce ot-' Editors.?A New York letters writer gives the following specimen of editorial sufferings in the Tribune office: One day last year, Mr. Grccly wrote an editorial entitled "William II. Seward."? Imagine his rage when it came to him in proof; headed "Richard the Tili'd !" Yet anybody familiar with chirography, if his inky jerks can be so desgiuated, will read? ily see not only how such a mistake could lie made, but how it probably would be. Again he wrote about "three men in buck? ram," and prosaic type setter got it "three men in a back room.1' And this, notwith? standing the fact that two com]>o*itors of sagacity and experience arc hired at an ex? tra salary, because lliey can read his copy. But George Riplcy has been tin:- victim of the grossest outrage in this line. In one of his book not ices, he took the liberty of quoting from Shakspeare: "'Tis true, 'tis pity fand pity 'tis, 'tis true." And the wretched bungler got it, "'Tis two} 'tis fifty; 'tis fifty?'tis fifty two !" "- -o An'-Lnotan Story.?A romantic young lady, whose mind was deeply imbued with reading "The sorrows of Werler," anil other novels of the exquisitely eent imental school, approached a stalwart savage, whose sombre visage indicated suffering of some kind, and addressed him thus: "Why droops the eagle eye of the forest chief? Is he brooding over the Avrongs of his race ? Docs the memory of the red warrior revert to the past, when Ins proud ancestors roamed through the mighty for? ests, and enjoyed the primeval glories of Nature, now so sadly marred by the axe and plough of the sympathizing rustic?" The -answer of the forest chief with the drooping eagle-eye, was a little shocking to her refined sensibility: "No! White man gi'j Ingun too much whiskaloe. Ingun big druiik last night; Ingun sick; by-and-by Ingun puke; Ingun well again, ugh!" c. r. cr.Afnior.y, w. f. rnnttuKn', a. sr. 120 Ches-nut St., j.u*kso.v, 7 Wrirreh Philadelphia.
